After seeing many patients placed on multiple medications by numerous providers without much coordination, HEALTH ATLAST founders Stephanie and Wayne Higashi, both doctors of chiropractic, found a need to create a multi-disciplinary approach to healing where doctors work together as one to optimize a patient's health. This wellness approach was found to be the best for patients.
